as far as I know when you buy a 'retail' version you are paying more but you get a pretty box and a fan included. when you buy OEM (original equipment manufacturer) you just get the chip and have to buy your own fan.

OEM versions are meant for system builders.

that one you have the link for is a 'retail' so I'd expect a fan to be included... but if there isnt you should be able to source one for a few pounds.
